How long does it take...?

<p>How long does it take for your pell grant check to get mail to your home?</p>

<p>A Pell grant check is not usually mailed to your home. In our experience the schools gets the Pell grant money. If there is any excess after direct school expenses are paid then the excess is paid to you. How quickly this happens depends on the school. At my daughter's school they pay any excess to the student as soon as the add/drop classes period is over (@ 3 weeks into the semester). At my son's school it is about 5-6 weeks into the semester before they issue the checks..</p>

<p>Yeah my school has already been paid so i'm taking about the excess money that was left over.</p>

<p>Depends on your school. Ask them. As I said, my daughter gets hers very quickly. My son has to wait several weeks longer.</p>

<p>Yeah cause they were sent out today</p>
